Can't you use a spacer with a dry powder inhaler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not aerosolized: Dry powder inhalers depend on your breathing in the particles, there is not any power behind them, like you would see in a metered dose inhaler. Spacers do not allow you to get enough airflow to do it.
